Hidden User Account

I think my son created a hidden user account on my laptop. Is there a way to view hidden user accounts? Is there a way to prevent him from bypassing my logon to do this?

Re: Hidden User Account

Open cmd and type net user, a list of all users will come up whether he hid his account or not.

Re: Hidden User Account

Hello Mflossn,

Since you have Vista Ultimate, you can also use Local Users and Groups to see all user accounts and unhide them as well.

User Account - Hide

Hope this helps,
Shawn
